About Me

Steven Varni, aka Sig. Nonloso: In November 2010 my wife, our 3-year-old son, and I moved from Brooklyn, NY to Venice, Italy. Born and raised in California, I'd lived in NYC since 1993--except for a 2 year period from 2007-09 when my wife and I lived in Asheville, NC, where our son was born.

I've published a novel with a major press, some journalism, and worked a variety of jobs.
